The Roof, also known as Roof Battle in Plants vs. Zombies: Endless Edition, is the fifth area of Adventure Mode and takes place on top of the player's house.

It consists of a 5x5 sloped side at the back and a 4x5 straight side in front with a satellite dish on the zombie side and a chimney on the player's side where the zombies enter when you let one enters the house.

Repeater cannot shoot peas over the angle (the pea has been blocked)

Straight shooting plants (Peashooters, Starfruits, etc.) will not be able to hit zombies if planted on the sloping side (although they can fire over the edge when planted on the first sloped column next to the straight columns), so the player will need to use lobbed-shot plants for this stage (the player can use Fume-shrooms too, but the need of waking them up using Coffee Bean and their short-range may prevent the player from using them much).

Column Like You See 'Em - a mini-game that takes place on the roof.

Plants also need Flower Pots to place plants on the roof due to the fact that the roof is not made of soil thus making the roof's surface unplantable (same goes for its night counterpart). Because it takes place during the day, sun falls from the sky during this stage, and mushrooms fall asleep.

There are no Lawn Mowers, so until Roof Cleaners are purchased from Crazy Dave, the player's last line of defense is their leftmost plants.

This area also has "ambush zombies", which are actually Zombies (or Conehead Zombies and Buckethead Zombies) that are dropped by Bungee Zombies onto the roof, possibly into the player's defenses, although they can be repulsed by Umbrella Leaves. This is similar to the zombies that surface from the Pool and the zombies that come out of graves. Overall, this is the hardest area of the game to overcome.

New plants[]

The plants unlocked in this level are specially made to fit the roof. For example, due to the slope of the roof, catapult plants must be used to attack the zombies. These include the Cabbage-pult, the Kernal-pult, and the Melon-pult, which are all catapult plants. These plants are essential to roof levels, because of the slope of the roof blocking all straight-shot projectiles.

Flower Pots are also essential for planting on the roof because plants can't be planted on the roof without them. The other plants added in the roof stage are Coffee Bean, Garlic, Umbrella Leaf, and Marigold.

Trivia[]

  • On the Xbox Live Arcade version, the player can see a large telephone pole in front of the roof. It does not appear in Night Roof due to the visibility of Dr. Zomboss.
  • Crazy Dave and Cabbage-pult do not know how the zombies got on the roof in the first place, but at the beginning of roof levels, the player can see a ladder at the right that may have helped them.
  • When the level is being represented, the words on the screen will say "[The player's name]'s Roof!" with an exclamation point at the end.
  • The music played on the Roof is called "Graze the Roof", a pun on the phrase "raise the roof".
    • The song also sounds like Grasswalk (the Day theme) when it starts playing.
    • In Plants vs. Zombies 2, the theme for the third wave of Modern Day is a remix of Graze the Roof.
  • Fume-shrooms and Gloom-shrooms are the only non-lobbed-shot plants that can shoot up the slope of the roof.
  • In the Xbox 360 trailer, it is said that the roof has Spanish tiles.
  • It appears that the roof has flowers and weeds right after the slant. These flowers and such are not sentient unlike other plants in the series.
  • On the Android and iPad versions of the game, there is a hole on the side of the chimney that the zombies walk through, instead of dropping down it.
  • In newer iPad versions, the clouds in the background are shaped like brains.
  • This area is the only area to not have its Bonus level as a mini-game or a Puzzle.
  • Obviously, the reason that the Digger Zombie and Dancing Zombie will not appear on this area is there is no soil. However, they did appear in Co-op Roof.
  • Just like with Fog, the mobile version does not skip the intro when the music loops like other versions do.
